Say no Mo; Celtics waive Wagner and sign Jabari Parker

I've been suggesting Jabari Walker as a Celtics target for quite some while. Thought Parker might come to the Celtics as part of a trade for Nemanja Bjelica who Danny reportedly coveted, but the latter was traded to the Heat. This is a no brainer for the Celtics as Wagner is not an NBA player (at least at this time). He was only acquired in the Theis/Javonte deal because he was an expiring contract not making much. the expectation was that at least one of Wagner and Kornet would eventually be moved to make room for one or two buyout players.
